Vikings’ latest coaching news screams Derek Carr pursuit

Who will be the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings during the 2026 NFL season? That is the question that many fans are asking after watching the team struggle at the position mightily in 2025.

J.J. McCarthy could still be the quarterback of the future, but the 23-year-old hasn't looked like he is ready to step into that role quite yet and has dealt with multiple injuries since being a first-round pick of the Vikings in 2024.

Minnesota has a big decision to make this offseason. Should they look to bring in a more experienced quarterback? If the team feels they are close to being contenders, this could be an interesting option for the front office of the purple and gold.
